You are trying to do something that CCC was not designed to do. That is the
problem.  The solution to what you are trying to do may be covered by a
commercial backup program.  CCC is a 'cloner' and you do not want a clone.
You want an image file of your hard drive and CCC will not do what you have
been asking it to do.

Get a spare hard drive if you want to use CCC.  Forget trying to make an
image of you hard drive.
